«Ahh, the beauty! How beautiful I am! And the color green suits me so well!»

And then Paula pushed aside the dresses on a hanger and, rather condescendingly, turned to Lisa:

«What are you doing here? Are you hiding from me? I found you again! Found you!»

Lisa left the dressing room in horror and ran to the attic of the old mansion. There she hid behind boxes. You probably already guessed that it didn't help either! Soon Paula appeared there and, pushing the boxes aside, turned to the tired Lisa:

«Why are you all running from me? I found you anyway! Let's go already remodel your room for me!»

Lisa shook her head, and with the saddest look went down to the first floor and again sat down at the piano. She straightened her hair and, deciding not to pay attention to the pesky ghost, began to play again. As soon as she did, she heard the quiet sound of a bell and, as you might have guessed, ghost Paula appeared on the piano lid! She sat with a content look, swaying her foot shod in a silk slipper.

«Well, you should be convinced by now: I can find you everywhere, and you cannot get rid of me! So, let's go remodel the room!»

Lisa angrily glanced at the ghost and angrily hit the keys several times!

«Ta-ta-ta-tamm,» the piano echoed.

«Hey! Stop doing that! That wasn’t beautiful what you played! I don't like that.» Paula snorted.

«Ah! So, you don't like that!» Lisa was delighted and began to randomly hit the keys, producing loud, brain-piercing sounds.

«No! Stop doing that!» ghost Paula covered her ears.

«Aha! Don’t you like it? I know how to get rid of you now!» Lisa exclaimed.

«Oh no, that won’t work! I'll stay here anyway!» immediately answered Paula.

«We'll see about that! You probably don't know, but my brother also studies at the conservatory, only he plays the saxophone.» Lisa left the living room and returned with a saxophone in her hands.

Paula crossed her arms over her chest and looked defiantly at Lisa:

«Oh, I’m so scared!» sarcastically exclaimed Paula.

«Boo-boo-boo-boo!» the saxophone screamed loudly when Lisa blew into it.

«Oh! What a horror this is! I can't stand it! I… I… I… You broke my magic spell!» ghost Paula vanished into thin air, and there was a faint sound of a receding bell.

«It's that simple!» Lisa smiled. «Now I know that the best cure for ghosts is the saxophone!»

So there’s the story. And now you know what to do if an annoying ghost has settled in your house: just play the saxophone! And if, one night, you hear one of your neighbors loudly playing the saxophone, don’t get upset! Maybe your neighbor is trying to get rid of a ghost from his house.
